Mods: I hope this post is alright!
I figured I'd post about this, because I'm curious... How many of you are going to the "Grand Opening" party at Lush Anaheim?
This is the banner for it that was included in the emails I received:
I'm in Riverside, so it's a bit of a drive... but not too horrible. I am really trying to make it, especially since I already RSVP'd, but my mom might flake on me. Hopefully not. (We drove out there a couple months ago when we thought it was opening; it was still boarded up, sadly.) Anyway... assuming everything pans out for me (I've gotta go get some sleep so my alarm wakes me up, ha!), I hope to see some of you there! :)
[EDIT:] Holy crap, that was a madhouse! We got there around 1PMish... it was so crowded and loud. I'm surprised that my mom, little sister, and I all got in and out in one piece! I'm used to my beloved Lush Pasadena, so this was an interesting experience. The Disney theme that all the SAs were dressed in was super cute.
If you were there around 1PM-3PM, I was wearing a Def Leppard shirt/jacket. Did you see me? :)
My/our haul:
Avobath ballistic (free for RSVPing)
Butterball ballistic (x2; one is my sister's, and the other came in the goody bag for spending over $40)
Up The Wooden Hill emotibomb (came in the aforementioned goody bag... smells amazing!)
English Countryside ballistic (impulse choice on my part, because it smelled good... I hope it was a good pick!)
Flosty Gritter bubble bar (sister's)
Herbalism facial cleanser (I'm running out, and need to use it daily rather than every other day!)
Alkmaar soap (another impulse on my part. It just smelled so damn nice!)
Porridge soap (my baby sister's impulse pick?)
Ice Blue soap (Mom loves it. I was glad they had it, because Lush Pasadena was out of it a couple months ago!)
... and, sadly, that is all. I reeeeally need a job, haha. Though I did get to use and get rid of a gift card that my ex-best friend got me last year for my birthday. Finally!
I really need Wiccy Magic Muscles and Ocean Salt, but there just wasn't enough money this time. I need to make a list of the other stuff I have so I can keep my Lush stuff organised.
P. S. - Mods: Tags for "Lush Anaheim" and "Lush Pasadena", pretty please? :)
(I added a bunch of tags to my post... are they appropriate, or should I have left it at the three or four I had to begin with?)
P. P. S. - I almost forgot! I really envy the person that won the Think Pink bath bomb/ballistic. I was SO CLOSE to buying that one. I wish I had.
